Drake started rapping long before he was filling arenas, and some of his earliest handwritten lyrics are currently being auctioned off.
Young Drake allegedly wrote the lyrics while working for his uncle’s Memphis furniture company in the 2000s, according to TMZ. They ended up in the garbage and weren’t found until the factory was about to shut down permanently.
The handwritten lyrics on loose-leaf paper can be purchased by OVO fans for $20,000 from the Moments In Time auction house.
